BEER FESTIVAL
Hand Crafted Tasting Co. is at it again with their Spring Seasonal installment of the NYC Craft Beer Festival. This season’s brew showcase, held on March 30th, is focused on American craft breweries and their spring released libations. Held at the historic 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Avenue, the main-drill floor will be a ‘hop’ bed of seasonal tastings, brewer information, great eats, and more. With 75 American breweries slotted to participate there will be over 150 beers to sample from, so matter your beer preference you’ll be sure to find a beer you’ll love.
Tis’ the season for brew—plentiful amounts of the frothy ambrosia overflowing! Beer fest season is in full swing, with the American Craft Beer Fest occurring this past Saturday, the Spring Craft Beer Fest happening in the wilds of Long Island on the 10th, as well as a slew of other tastings occurring throughout the month. Perhaps it’s the impending tempest of emerald debauchery known as “St.Patty’s Day” drawing brewers like moths to the flame. Whatever the case may be, celebration is in order!
On Saturday, December 10th, Get Real NY will bring together 8 of the city's finest beer bars for Beer Bar Fest NYC. So instead of running all over town, you can keep yourself settled and delight in the fine bite and brews. To keep up with this popular trend of pairing food and beer, beer bars have been amping up their food menus to mirror the artsanal qualities of craft beer.
Over two sessions (1-4pm and 7-10pm), participants can savor Rattle n Hum's house ground sea scallops, tiger shrimp and cod fish on a toasted brioche bun while sipping Stillwater Stateside Saison, a Belgian-style ale from Baltimore. Or partake in The Bronx Ale House's braised short rib chili with the recently debuted Bronx Brewery's Pale Ale.
It’s entirely possible that you just didn’t drink enough beer this summer.
Or last weekend. Or, ever.
